Relating to the collection of certain incident-based data reported to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement.

HB 5228 requires Texas law enforcement agencies to submit detailed incident reports (such as officer-public encounters and detentions) to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. The Commission must develop standardized reporting formats, ensure data quality, and publish the data online with a public glossary for easy access. It also mandates a study by 2027 to improve data collection methods and explore expanding reporting requirements. This bill directly affects police agencies that submit data and the public who can access the compiled information.
